Life-Cycle Logistics Leader

Frank Kendall, the Defense Department's acting acquisition chief, has appointed a new point person for life-cycle logistics within the Pentagon workforce.

Kendall has tapped Sue Dryden, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for materiel readiness, to be the life-cycle logistics "functional leader," according to an April 6 memo.

The memo also includes an updated list of all of the Pentagon's functional leaders. Some of those include DOD Strategic and Tactical Systems Director David Ahern, who oversees acquisition management; Performance Assessments and Root Cause Analyses Director Gary Bliss, for earned value management; and Developmental Test and Evaluation Director Edward Greer, for the test and evaluation functional area.
